7 CFR Part 301 

[Docket No. APHIS–2006–0170] 

Witchweed Quarantine Regulations; 

Regulated Areas in North Carolina and 

South Carolina 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA 

ACTION: Interim rule and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We are amending the list of 

regulated areas in the witchweed 

quarantine and regulations by adding or 

removing areas in North Carolina and 

South Carolina. These changes affect 

five counties in North Carolina and two 

counties in South Carolina. These 

actions are necessary in order to prevent 

the artificial spread of witchweed from 

areas where the weed has been detected 

and to remove restrictions that are no 

longer necessary on the interstate 

movement of regulated articles from 

areas where witchweed has been 

eradicated. 

DATES: This interim rule is effective 

February 15, 2007. We will consider all 

comments that we receive on or before 

April 23, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Witchweed (Striga spp.) is a parasitic 

plant that attacks some of the most 

important crops in the United States 

(corn, sorghum, sugar cane, and rice), 

feeding off the roots of its host and 

causing degeneration. Within the United 

States, witchweed is only found in parts 

of North Carolina and South Carolina. 

The witchweed quarantine and 

regulations, contained in 7 CFR 301.80 

through 301.80–10 (referred to below as 

the regulations), quarantine affected 

areas within the States of North Carolina 

and South Carolina and restrict the 

interstate movement of certain articles 

from regulated areas in those States for 

the purpose of preventing the spread of 

witchweed. 

Section 301.80–2(a) provides that the 

Deputy Administrator will designate as 

regulated areas each quarantined State, 

or each portion of a quarantined State, 

in which witchweed has been found, in 

which there is reason to believe that 

witchweed is present, or that it is 

deemed necessary to regulate because of 

its proximity to infestation or its 

inseparability for quarantine 

enforcement purposes from infested 

localities. The regulations impose 

restrictions on the interstate movement 

of regulated articles from the regulated 

areas. Regulated areas, which are listed 

in § 301.80–2a, are designated as either 

suppressive areas or generally infested 

areas. Suppressive areas are those 

portions of the regulated areas where 

eradication of infestation is undertaken 

as an objective. Currently, all the 

regulated areas listed in § 301.80–2a are 

designated as suppressive areas. 

Less than an entire quarantined State 

will be designated as a regulated area 

only if the Deputy Administrator is of 

the opinion that: (1) The State has 

adopted and is enforcing restrictions on 

the intrastate movement of the regulated 

articles that are substantially the same 

as those imposed on the interstate 

movement of regulated articles and (2) 

the designation of less than the entire 

State as a regulated area will prevent the 

interstate spread of witchweed. 

Changes to the List of Regulated Areas 

In this interim rule, we are amending 

the list of regulated areas in § 301.80–2a 

by removing areas in Cumberland, 

Pender, Robeson, and Sampson 

Counties, NC, and Horry and Marion 

Counties, SC, from the list of 

suppressive areas. We are taking this 

action because we have determined that 

witchweed no longer occurs in these 

areas; therefore, we no longer need to 

list these areas as suppressive areas for 

the purpose of preventing the spread of 

witchweed. This action relieves 

restrictions on the movement of 

regulated articles from these areas that 

are no longer necessary. 

In addition to removing areas from the 

list of regulated areas in § 301.80–2a, we 

are also adding several areas to the list 

and revising the descriptions of several 

areas on the list. Specifically, we are 

adding 4 farms in Cumberland County, 

NC, 1 farm in Pender County, NC, 3 

farms in Robeson County, NC, 5 farms 

in Sampson County, NC, 17 farms in 

Horry County, SC, and 9 farms in 

Marion County, SC, as suppressive 

areas. We are also expanding the large 

suppressive areas in Bladen, Robeson, 

and Sampson Counties, NC. We are

taking these actions because we have 

determined that witchweed occurs in 

these areas; therefore, we need to list 

these areas as suppressive areas for the 

purpose of preventing the artificial 

spread of witchweed. As a result of 

these actions, the restrictions described 

in § 301.80–3 of the regulations on the 

interstate movement of regulated 

articles from suppressive areas will 

apply to the movement of regulated 

articles from the farms we are 

designating as suppressive areas. The 

entire regulated area is described in the 

rule portion of this document. 

Immediate Action 

Immediate action is necessary to 

update the list of areas in order to: (1) 

Relieve restrictions on the interstate 

movement of regulated articles from 

areas that are no longer infested with 

witchweed, and (2) prevent the spread 

of witchweed from newly infested areas 

into uninfested areas. Under these 

circumstances, the Administrator has 

determined that prior notice and 

opportunity for public comment are 

contrary to the public interest and that 

there is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553 

for making this action effective less than 

30 days after publication in the Federal 

Register. We will consider comments we 

receive during the comment period for 

this interim rule (see DATES above). 

After the comment period closes, we 

will publish another document in the 

Federal Register. The document will 

include a discussion of any comments 

we receive and any amendments we are

Executive Order 12866 and Regulatory 

Flexibility Act 

This rule has been reviewed under 

Executive Order 12866. For this action, 

the Office of Management and Budget 

has waived its review under Executive 

Order 12866. 

Since 1951, witchweed has been 

found in 38 counties in North and South 

Carolina; only 7 counties are currently 

infested, and witchweed has not been 

allowed to spread beyond the borders of 

North Carolina and South Carolina. 

From 1956 to 2006, the number of 

infested acres has been reduced from 

450,000 to around 2,494, i.e., 2,097 

acres in North Carolina and 397 acres in 

South Carolina (table 1).1

If witchweed is allowed to spread 

throughout the United States, it could 

cause an estimated $1.08 billion in 

annual control costs plus an additional 

10 percent in yield losses for U.S. corn 

alone.2 The value of corn production in 

North Carolina and South Carolina in 

2006 was about $264 million. Using 

these figures, preventing the further 

spread of witchweed prevents an 

estimated $39.6 million in costs for 

North Carolina and South Carolina and 

an estimated $3.7 billion in costs for the 

entire United States. In comparison, the 

costs of controlling witchweed have 

been relatively low. Real expenditures ranged from a high 

of $18.95 million in 1961 to a low of 

$1.32 million estimated for 2002. 

In North Carolina, approximately 73 

percent of the costs of control activities 

are funded by the Federal Government, 

with the remainder funded by the State. 

In South Carolina, 100 percent of all 

control activities are funded by the 

Federal Government. 

Control activities include the use of 

pre- and post-emergence herbicides to 

kill witchweed and weed hosts. 

Agricultural producers with witchweed 

infestations receive free herbicide 

applications, which not only get rid of 

witchweed but also control other weeds 

throughout the growing season, and free 

ethylene gas treatments. Ethylene gas is 

a plant growth promoter that increases 

yields of cultivated crops. The witchweed eradication program 

has had a positive economic impact on 

agricultural producers with manageable 

witchweed infestations. Agricultural 

producers only bear costs associated 

with the movement of regulated articles 

from suppressive areas into nonsuppressive areas. For example, crops 

with soil attached after harvesting must 

be cleaned in order to remove 

witchweed seeds. In addition, producers 

moving regulated articles must arrange 

for inspection to obtain a certificate or 

limited permit or enter into a 

compliance agreement, which will 

allow them to issue certificates and 

limited permits. Agricultural machinery 

must also be cleaned and treated prior 

to movement, but 100 percent of 

machinery treatment and cleaning 

expenses are covered by the Federal 

Government. 

Although data were unavailable, 

quarantine compliance costs borne 

directly by agricultural producers are 

apparently very small. 


erjones on PRODPC74 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 35 / Thursday, February 22, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 7925 

The rule will affect at least 29 entities 

located within the newly expanded 

suppressive areas in North Carolina and 

South Carolina. In the suppressive areas 

of North Carolina, roughly 15 to 20 

percent of the agricultural producers 

grow corn, 20 to 25 percent grow 

soybeans, 30 percent grow cotton, and 

the remaining 25 to 35 percent grow 

tobacco, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and 

other crops. We assume a similar mix of 

crops is produced in the suppressive 

areas of South Carolina. 

The U.S. Small Business 

Administration (SBA) defines a small 

agricultural producer as one with 

annual sales receipts of $750,000 or less. 

During 2000–2005, 85 percent of the 

agricultural producers in North Carolina 

had annual sales of $99,999 or less, and 

15 percent had annual sales of $100,000 

or more. 

We do not know the specific size of 

these 29 farms. However, based on 

agricultural State statistics, the majority 

(i.e., 83 percent) of North Carolina and 

South Carolina farms had less than 

$100,000 in annual sales. It is therefore 

reasonable to assume that the majority 

of these farms are small according to 

SBA criteria. 

These farms are required to incur 

quarantine compliance costs. However, 

the annual reduction in infested acres 

has undoubtedly benefited growers by 

reducing control costs and yield losses 

attributable to witchweed. In addition, 

discounted benefits for small North 

Carolina and South Carolina corn 

producers may be much larger than the 

discounted costs associated with the 

program. 

Continuing to regulate an area that is 

not infested with witchweed, therefore, 

would represent an unnecessary cost on 

small entities in the area. Similarly, not 

regulating an area infested with 

witchweed could jeopardize the future 

success of a program with a proven and 

cost-effective track record. 

Under these circumstances, the 

Administrator of the Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service has 

determined that this action will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities.
